It didn’t take long at all for Obama to announce he’s going to take this country in the wrong direction!
Executive Orders! One of the most powerful and important tools that a President has at his disposal. These are orders issued by a President to either clarify his position regarding certain laws passed - or it is his way of canceling out a bill passed by Congress.
The Fat Beagle has a good post up that has a great definition of just what Executive Orders are. Rather than rehash that here - I’m just suggesting you go check that out for yourself.
Never in the history of this country has an incoming President-elect announced the first order of the day will be to go through and review every Executive Order issued by the sitting President! WTF? Obama was NOT given a mandate by any reason of measure. He announced today that one of the first EO’s that he will be reversing is Bush’s lifting of the ban on drilling in the OCS. Is this man serious? 78% of this country overwhelmingly supports drilling for oil - not only in the OCS, but also in ANWR in Alaska. I thought Obama was supposed to be FOR energy independence? Perhaps he really is more beholden to the Muslims and those Arab countries. After all, he still refuses to release his donor list - which speculation has it - includes a lot of donations from anti-Israel organizations, oil rich countries, and other radical muslim groups.
Back to the issue - What do you think was the reason that the oil and gas prices have been coming down? It was the Congressional lift of the ban in conjuction with Bush’s lifting of the EO that prompted speculators to start down pricing oil in addition to the increased supply levels. Inventory was up because people stopped buying gas. As soon as Congress announced this past summer that oil companies could begin exploring and drilling in Florida - oil prices went down right away.
Now - we have some idiot socialist beholden to those eco-terrorists announcing he’s going to reverse that decision? A decision that the vast majority of this country agreed with? Just remember - that 52% of you that voted for him - you are getting exactly what you voted for. Myself and many other conservative bloggers tried to warn you guys about him - but - you called it smear and attack. We pointed you to his socialist and liberal record - but - you decided that the truth didn’t matter.
The reversal of that EO alone should be enough to send this country over the edge. But, there are several other EO’s that Bush signed that related to GITMO, GWOT, Afghanistan, our national security, illegal immigration, and our national security - You can see the complete list here .
All of the above are those that Obama and those loony liberals in Congress have opposed Bush on since he came in to office, before and after Obama became a Senator. If Obama reverses ANY one of those - he will weaken our country and open us back up for more attacks on this soil.
This guy is dangerous - and he announced today just how dangerous he is. Are you paying attention? I am. If anything happens to this country or our troops as a result of his reversals - he, the Democratic led congress, and you 52% who buried your heads in the sand will be the only ones to blame.
